Brooklyn Beckham on Family Drama: ‘I Just Try & Do This, Play Some Golf With Some Friends’

This week, Brooklyn Beckham was among the many celebrities playing in the Ryder Cup All-Star match, an exhibition that pits A-listers against actual athletes. Alongside the amateur photographer, stylist, hot sauce creator, and chef were Kane Brown, Bobby Flay, Colin Jost, Noah Kahan, Miranda Lambert, Eli Manning, John McEnroe, and Michael Strahan.

Like many of this Renaissance Man’s pursuits, he’s admittedly not great at golf. In fact, he reportedly got beaten handily by Jost and Manning in the match. But being trounced by a half-funny comedian wasn’t half as bad as Beckham’s reception in the match. Apparently, the crowd wasn’t very kind.

“I feel like they didn’t like me at all,” he told the Daily Mail. “Honestly, it was really nerve-wracking…but it was such a cool experience. I couldn’t say no. It was amazing.”

Naturally, the Daily Mail seized upon the opportunity to ask Beckham all about The Great Beckham Beef of ’25. Since April, the eldest Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, have been on the outs with the rest of his family. Not only did the couple miss all three of David’s 50th birthday parties in London, Paris, and Miami, but a passive-aggressive back-and-forth between the siblings has been going on in the press and on social media for several weeks now. In August, the Beckhams even missed the Peltz-Beckhams’ vow renewal in upstate New York. Officiated by Nicola’s evil billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, the nuptials (which took place just three years after their first wedding) joined together her extended family and…few others. According to reports, Brooklyn even delivered a speech that slighted his family while simultaneously praising the one he married into. Beckham claimed all of the “negative” things in the news are largely hearsay, though.

“There’s always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife,” Brooklyn told the Daily Mail, referring to Peltz. “Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.”

Beckham also noted that he doesn’t sweat what people write: “Everyone is always going to say rubbish. I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.” The conversation then concluded with Beckham’s admission that he “left” his wife with their four dogs so he’d have to have to “go back and get back to work” after the match. Alrighty, then!
